In response, the makers of Chhaava, a highly anticipated Bollywood film starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, are reconsidering their release strategy. Initially slated for December 6, 2024, Chhaava is now expected to shift its release to avoid direct competition with Pushpa 2. Sources suggest the film may be postponed to early 2025, giving it a better chance to shine independently in theaters.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava is a historical drama with a distinguished ensemble cast, including acclaimed actors Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, Neil Bhoopalam, and Santosh Juvekar. Fans of Chhaava are awaiting an official announcement on the revised release date.

As Pushpa 2 readies for a record-breaking launch, it appears the Bollywood industry is making tactical adjustments to avoid clashing with one of the year's biggest releases.
